Traducción - Danés-Latín - Jeg kan, jeg vil, jeg tør, jeg gør!...

Shouldn't "will" be translated as "voleo"?
"Ero" should be "I will be"...

You probably thought about "volo". Am I right?
Yes I thought about the verb too. To be honest I don't fully understand English "I will". Does it mean "I want"? If so, it should be "volo" in Latin and "we will" should be "volumus".
I'd ask Lilly to help. She will help for sure.

Could you Lilly tell us what exactly mean "I will", please?

Hi girls,
The problem here is that "will" is just a modal with no direct translation. You may think of the statements as:
"I can (do sth), I will (do it), I dare (to do it), I do (it), etc..."

Thank you Lilly!
Yes, I took the "will" as a auxiliary verb here, this is why I translated "ero" and "erimus". If it was "I have a will" it could be "volo" in Latin indeed (I want), but in this case... Hm.
You know, for sure, Latin also have some auxiliary verbs and just "ero" is used to build "Futurum II" tense for example "amatavero" (I will love) and "amatus ero" (I will be loved), but the problem is that auxiliary verbs never appear separately as it is in English.... So I don't think it is possible to translate it in a different way than I did...
"Ero" means exactly "I will be" and it can be considered also as "I will be (doing it)"...
Efee, have you got any other idea how to translate this modal?

No idea now.
Let's keep your translation...

ok.

p.s. If I was to translate it into Polish I would also use here "będę" (I will be)... Neither Latin nor Polish have got this kind of modals...

The source text says: I want/we want

Verb ville in Danish.

Thank you, Casper... I was still not sure of the fragment, so have just been waiting for your post, hehe!

I'd better ask Ernst or Lene.

Hello guys!
Could you, please, tell us what "jeg vil" exactly means?
"I want" or "I will (do it)"?

Hey Aneta. "Jeg vil" signifies 'I will or 'I want'.
But there's a very slight difference so here in this context it's "I will". A volunty to do it.

As Lene said "Jeg vil" can be used both as "I will" and "I want".

I would translate it as "I will (do it)"

Thank you, dear friends!
I can see now that Latin verb "volo, velle" (=to want, to be willing to, to like to do, to decide) suits here the most, especially that your Danish "ville" probably comes from Latin "velle"..
